It's been a while since I featured a song with an Ura chart here, or anything from the Vocaloid genre. This time I'm doing both in one!

noshouAfter the first duet song using Hatsune Miku and Megpoid GUMI on Katsu-Don (Matryoshka), the two digital divas join forces together once again with Noushou Sakuretsu Girl (lit. 'Spinal Fluid Explosion Girl'), one of Momoiro Version's new Vocaloid licenses and the only new song in there to have a playable Ura mode by default.
Originally uploaded on video streaming websites on October 19th, 2012, the song was composed and by Sasaki Kouhei (佐々木貢平), a freelance composer who has been making Vocaloid songs since 2009. He uses the aliases rerulili (れるりり) or ToushahiP (当社比P). Of his creations, Noushou Sakuretsu Girl is currently the most popular of his works, achieving over 2.2 million views on Nicovideo and thus joining the website's 'VOCALOID Legends' section alongside the other 1+ million-views Vocaloid songs.
Noushou Sakuretsu Girl's creator has its theme as 'a song of an extremely masochistic girl', and its apathetic lyrics further confirm this association. Basically, the song pictures a brief life story of a girl in 1st person, touching on everyday or gross situations with a pessimistic view. On December 2012, the song was featured in rerulili's 5th album, which is titled after the song itself. The remastered version for the album was made by Kagome-P (かごめP), featuring the jazz piano backdrop provided by Akai Meteor for the song's original version. Aside from Taiko, Noushou Sakuretsu Girl also appears in the 22nd installment of bemani's pop'n music series (Lapistoria) and BNSI's Synchronica.
The song has inspired the creation of a light novel of the same name, which bears the primate of being the first Vocaloid song-related light novel to be turned into a movie in 2015, whith its two mani actresses joining one of the Taiko Team livestreams on June 2015. Currently, the song has one sequel in Isshoku Sokuhatsu☆Zen Girl (一触即発☆禅ガール) and a boy-centric continuation in Seisou Bakuretsu Boy (聖槍爆裂ボーイ), both of which are also songs made by rerulili.
Noushou Sakuretsu Girl's Oni chart mainly features short, consecutive clusters. They're pretty basic stuff and players used to the 8* tier should be able to deal with them well, even if the overall chart is quite tiring. Kantan and Muzukashii both end with a 'Miku-combo' notecount (with the number '39' meaning Miku in Japanese).

You end up with a creative, more appropriate take on the song. Noushou Sakuretsu's piano melody and the vocals in the beginning is just begging for complex 2 and 4 note clusters, and this Ura features them in the dozens, with loads of handswitch thrown in.
There's also a really cool, long stream in the middle before the chorus which has 1/24 portions mixed in, and this is the hardest obstacle of the song to clear before you can think of FCing.
